HAUL!!!

Yay, so both my Elf and Cherry Culture hauls came in today, YAY!!! I have been waiting for them for a long while now. So all I have left to wait for are my beauty rush dual mists from Victoria Secrets and that's it for me until Hello Kitty and Mac make their debut in February. Really excited about that. I already have money saved up for it, I dont want the whole collection, cause I really wasn't sold on the Tomcat eyeshadow palette, the colours were pretty but, i have stuff that's too similiar to alot of the colours already. I'm only planning on getting the lipsticks, lipglass, the compact mirror, and maybe the plushie. Maybe. Anyways, on to the haul!!

So from E.l.f or http://www.eyeslipsface.com I got the following....
I got a Foundation Brush, cause I've always used sponges up until now. But, the round sponges even though they say they're good for foundation on the package, they're fulla shit, they suck! All the product gets sucked into the sponge itself, and nothing goes on your skin at all. I had the triangle ones and they worked better, but Walgreens (at least the one I went to) didn't have them, only CVS had 'em so meh. So I'll try the brush after I wash it, and we'll see how it works out.
Next I got two Blushes from them, one in "Innocence" and one in "Shy". Shy is more pink and Innocence is more peachy. I liked 'em both when I saw them on the website, so yeah. I got 'em both cause at the time I only had one blusher colour and it was really bright pink, it was from onna those colour workshop type things my mommy bought me for christmas one year. They have pretty good pigmentation for something like that, but it was just to bright to wear everyday, even with a light hand. - -; They didn't blend very well either.
Then, I got two packs of shine erasers cause my skin can get really oily depending on what way I clean my face. If I use the neutrogena pod thing with the scrubbing pads, then it gets oily later on. If I just use the face wash, then it doesn't. Go figure, but my skin feels smoother and fresher after the pod. I dunno. But anyways I got those, and there's 100 sheets for 1.00 so I got two.
And finally, I got a creme eyeshadow duo, in Olive. One side is a mossy green colour and the other is a brown colour. I like the pigmentation and texture of both. So yeah.

So that's all I got from them. Then I got stuff from Cherry Culture cause I wanted to try out Nyx eyeshadows...
So from Cherry Culture or http://www.cherryculture.com I got;
6 round lips sticks. In -
o1.) Femme, which is a really bright pink, I like it though
o2.) Tea Rose, which is a pretty dusky rose pink
o3.) Thalia, which is really popular with alotta youtube girls, so I thought I'd try it, it's almost like Tea Rose but it's more mauvey.
o4.) Medusa, which is a really REALLY dark burgandy almost purple colour that I liked. I dont plan on wearing it everyday, but I liked it, and thought it was a colour I should try
o5.) Strawberry Milk, which is a baby pink colour, it's really pretty and very shimmery.
o6.) and then finally Athena, which is a frosty lilac colour.
I like all 6 of them. I swatched 'em on my hand, maybe I'll be able to take picture of it with my new digi cam, lets find out. Okay, took pictures, now hopefully they come out. Anyways, moving on.
I got 5 Nyx eyeshadows. In -
o1.) Herb, which is a shimmery green colour.
o2.) Rootbeer, which is a sorta purpley brown colour.
o3.) White Pearl, which is...duh WHITE. lol and it's very shimmery as well.
o4.) Violet, which is a really pretty purpley plum colour.
05.) and finally Nude, since everyone needs neutral colours... except for Richie Nickel that is, who only has expresso for his eyebrows. :) Btw, it's a very sheer colour, its really peachy.
Then I got two blushes from Nyx as well just to check out diffrent brands.
o1.) Silky Rose which is very nude tone pink.
o2.) and Natural, which is also nude tone pink but about a shade lighter then Silky Rose. They looked diffrent on the website but meh, i like 'em still.
And finally two nail polishes, one in Cappucino, which is a milky chocolate brown and Asphalt which is a sheer black with tons of multicoloured glitters.
Also the freebie cherry roll on gloss that cherryculture gives you as a gift, I like it. I haven't had a roll on gloss in ages!

So yeah that was meh haul. It's alotta stuff I know but, I'm just catching up to everyone else. And don't worry with all this new make up, please believe there are old palettes in my collection that have NO pigmentation at all that will be heading for the trash. Now that I know what quality is, I'd never go back to mediocre stuff, why would anyone do that? Right? SO yeah, hopefully my camera works and I get pictures up on this thing too for swatches.

Enjoy!
